You knew one had to be coming, another update about the meltdown and it's effects. Also-Ran-Romney and iPhone fiveage aside. TEPCO has been decontaminating areas immediately around monitoring posts to make radiation in stricken areas appear lower than it really is. Despicable genius really.

Don't know if it made headlines over there, but at Fukushima Daiichi power went out to the cooling on multiple spent fuel rod pools (which have nothing to do directly with the reactors themselves, but are actually much more dangerous by most measures). Luckily, these pools take days (around 4 to be more exact) before lack of cooling becomes a problem, and it is already largely under control. Only had 20 hours of non-cooling this time.

Another recent report stated that radiation in regions around the plant had gone down by 40 percent. This was attributed to clean up "efforts". I have read about these slipshod "efforts". The decline is more likely attributable to Cesium 134 having a half-life of 2 years. Sadly there is still a lot of 137 with a half-life of 30 years..
